What to ask officiant

My fiance and I are meeting a possible officiant on Thursday. We do not belong to a church, our wedding is at the Raccoon River Nature Lodge. This person we will be meeting actually performed a funeral for a member of my fiance's family. I wondered if that was a little weird, but thought he was nice and professional and well spoken, so we contacted him. I guess mainly I would like to see sample wordings and see how flexible he is with the wording; but other than that, I'm not quite sure what I should ask. Any thoughts? Thanks!

    How long he's been doing weddings, if he has any references. I know it would be a little weird to ask, but you need to make sure that he hasn't done anything bad at those other weddings.

    I would ask if he is cool with readings(assuming you want people to do them). Also if he plans on giving a "speech" from a religious point of view, seeing as you said you are not very religious.
