Do not put in hand luggage would be my advice.
When transporting Mums ashes I did tell dad that there was a slight chance they could go missing. He just said not to worry she loved travel. I did the same for his ashes recently.
The suggestion to put in checked luggage was that of a family member in the military services as I was in transit through the far and middle East and describing the contents of the sealed boxes in hand luggage he thought could be problematic.
Be sure to have death certificate and where possible cremation certificates with you.
But as with all things BA CWS it the lead.
