Primary text
For the funeral prayer (Janazah), voluntary prayers (Nawafil), and the prostration of recitation (Sujud al-Tilawah), there is no doubt that exiting the act is achieved with a single tasleemah. This is supported by the view attributed to Imam Ahmad in one narration concerning Janazah and Sujud al-Tilawah. Evidence for this is found in the practice of the Companions, who reportedly offered only one tasleemah in the funeral prayer.
