Protocol for flying ashes ( human ashes ) transatlantic

strange question this but we are flying some ashes ABZ - LAS next week.

route is BMI ABZ to LHR then Delta for LHR-JFK-LAS with 5 day stopver in NYC.

Is it protocol to contact the airline if you plan to pack the item well in the hold luggage, I guess in my mind is what happens if I dont tell them, will they pull me up for having an urn in the luggage.

Interested, on off chance anyone has done this before

Also useful if anyone knows if we need to tell Nevada authorities if scattering at Zion site in Vegas,
