Where did you hear this?

I'm aware he was buried, not sure what the "Christian" baggage was?
>heavy influence of medieval Christian mystics in his writings
Now you're talking out of your ass. He did a dissertation on Duns Scotus and a very early lecture on "religion" generally in the early 20's and that's pretty much it from there on, besides brief references to Meister Eckhart. The rest is Greece, Nietzsche and Holderlin. That there is a "heavy" or even positive influence of Christianism at all in his writings is simply a bare faced lie.
Just one example, but an important one: in writing about the "Last god" in his Contributions, he specifically makes an overtly anti-Christain qualifier, I quote from the Maly translation:
"The totally other over against gods
who have been, especially over against
the Christian God"
After he dropped the "Being and Time" plan, Heidegger spent the rest of his life preparing the coming of this "Last god".
If there was any biographical association with Christianity at the end of his life, it must have been a subversive gesture. As the heir of Nietzsche, MH was just as aware of the de-sacralizing, anti-holy nature of Christianity.
It should also be noted that the post-WW2 Heidegger can't be read as literally as the one before the war, especially of the great late-30's and early 40's period, and that's because he was thereafter writing under the oppressive yoke of de-nazification, which of course never ends.
