About Ashes Escorted - A Family Run Accompanied Ashes Delivery Service
A compassionate personal Ashes Delivery Service
We are a dedicated Mother and Son team committed to providing a compassionate and professional ashes delivery service for families during some of life’s most meaningful and sensitive moments.
I can’t express just how much peace of mind Ashes Escorted gave me as this was a very difficult situation. The process was seamless from start to finish. They were not only highly professional but also incredibly compassionate.

With decades of combined experience in Hospice Care and Travel Management, we bring together logistical expertise and genuine human understanding. Our mission is simple: to carry your loved one’s ashes safely, respectfully, with the utmost dignity.
Our story, how Ashes Escorted began
Ashes Escorted was founded by Karen, a mother and son team who between them bring together decades of experience in travel management and hospice care. Karen’s background in travel management ensures every accompanied ashes delivery is planned and executed with precision, whilst Louis’s experience in hospice care brings a deep understanding of grief, loss and the importance of compassionate support during life’s most difficult moments.
We both believe in a traditional, high quality level of service and came together to create a fully accompanied ashes delivery service built on the things that matter most: trust, expertise and genuine human care. We are both bereavement trained and fully understand what an important part of the grief journey receiving a loved one’s cremated remains can be. That is why we always take time before and during every delivery to speak with families, offering a safe and unhurried space to talk about their loved one should they need it. To us, this is never simply a delivery, it is a privilege to be trusted with such a meaningful and important task.
We understand that when families are geographically apart from one another, the practical responsibility of arranging for cremated remains to be collected and transported can feel overwhelming, an additional burden at an already incredibly difficult time. That is why Ashes Escorted exists. To remove that burden entirely, handling every detail of the ashes transport process so that families can focus on what truly matters, remembering their loved one and supporting one another through grief. Whatever your circumstances, our accompanied ashes delivery service is here to help.
