The UK government website says this:
Bringing ashes home
When leaving a country with human ashes you will normally need to show:
the death certificate
the certificate of cremation
Each country has its own rules about departing with human ashes and there may be additional requirements. Contact the country’s British consulate, embassy or high commission for advice. You’ll need to fill in a standard customs form when you arrive home.
Contact your airline to find out whether you can carry the ashes as hand luggage or as checked-in luggage. They may ask you to put the ashes in a non-metallic container so that they can be x-rayed.

I have sat next to someone on Ryanair to UK that revealed to me he had his fathers ashes in an urn between his feet. When asked by the crew would he put it in the overhead locker he revealed what it was and they told him it was ok where it was. Probably more common than we realise.
