Do you look through the jewish magazines for shaimis, or set aside the week before when the magazine says that the prior week had shaimis?

No, I double bag them and dispose of them. You can ask the question online.

I don't get them but why would they do this? I get so frustrated when we get free things in the mail/newspapers with shaimos.

I am sorry for the loss of you aunt.
I actually think it is beautiful to have shaimos buried with the person.
In the zechut of the Mitzvah of the shaimos being buried, your aunts neshama should have an aliya.

It increases the advertising potential if you can't throw it out.
Personally I make a point of not buying from companies who leave a Tefillat HaDerech magnet stuck on my door.

Quite so. I assumed OP meant frum magazines as opposed to just plain Jewish ones. I wouldn't expect a secular Jewish publication to know or care about Shaimos, but I expect better from supposedly frum ones.
And I really, really, really detest, despise, deplore and abhor frum orgs that send out dinky little cards with a bracha or perek tehillim or random tefillah. Some will say something to the effect of "this card bears Hashem's name, treat it accordingly" or dispose of respectfully or something--as if a nonfrum person would know what "respectful disposal" is--but many don't.
Quit generating Shaimos! I have no desire for dinky little cards with a single bracha on them, but now I'm stuck with them. Had I a garden I'd bury them, but a flowerpot doesn't do it. I'm not about to shlep a little bundle of papers every time I go to a levaya--most of the time I'm not going to the cemetery, anyway, and if I am, taking the shaimos bag along is seldom going to be in the forefront of my mind. So my only solution is to bring them to my shul--which charges for the privilege because the cemetery charges them. So thanks for nothing, well-meaning tzedakas.
And have these tzedakas ever considered that not everyone on their list is frum , and those who are not are highly likely to simply toss the shaimos cards away with the rest of their junk mail, right in the trash with their eggshells and chicken bones? Even frum people who know about Shaimos throw out junk mail unopened.

Not siddurim and other seforim; they must be taken to the cemetery. Magazines have ads and articles about politics, recipes, etc so the divrei Torah is not the majority of the magazine and the magazine is made for temporary use. A bigger problem is homework papers with entire p'sukim on them because they are created only for learning.
If an envelope comes in the mail with shaimos that nobody plans to use, I think that it can be put in the bag with the frum magazines. I think that it only becomes shaimos if it is used to daven or learn from but there are lots of articles on frum websites concerning this or ask your Rav.
