I'm obviously missing something.

What would be the point of putting classified documents there?

They are pieces of paper. If he wants to get rid of them, he is perfectly capable of burning them, tearing them up and flushing them, whatever. In fact, he had previously destroyed documents that way.

Is the idea that he'll go back with a shovel and remove them at some future time, after they have been in an enclosed space with a decomposing corpse?

Like, explain to me what would be the freaking point of going through the trouble of sneaking them into a casket that is going to be buried. They are just pieces of paper that are pretty simple to destroy.
