Yes, you have to repeat the funeral prayer, because this imaam behind whom you prayed is a believer in a kaafir doctrine which puts him beyond the pale of Islam. We ask Allaah to show mercy to your deceased loved one..

Janaazah (funeral) prayer behind a Qadiani (Ahmadi)
Question: 2854
Assalaamu 'Alaikum,
I attended a funeral today for my wife's aunt. After the janazah prayer, I
found out that the person performing the janazah prayer was not muslim. He was an Ahmadi
belonging to the sect who says Mirza Gulam was a prophet. I personally feel that the
janazah was not valid, but there were a lot of muslims in the congregation, who paid
little attention to the fact that the leader was not muslim. Should my family and I
re-pray the janazah?
Answer
Praise be to Allah, and blessings and peace be upon the Messenger of Allah.
