Firstly my condolences.
For BA try typing "ashes" into the search function at ba.com, I've tried to post the link here but cannot get it to work.
If it is in handbaggage I doubt it will even be noticed, let alone commented on by the airline staff. However it may show up during X-Ray and/or hand search when going through security so having all the paperwork is essential ...and be careful of the "one item of hand baggage" rule in the UK.
