I'm gonna have to against what the "expert" answered on this one, Hades had an assistant his name was Charos the angel of dead, his job was to transfer the souls of the dead in a boat over the river Acheron from the world of the living to the world of the dead.
Coins were placed in the mouths of the dead before burying them as payment for Charon. The boatman who demanded payment, for ferrying the souls of the dead across the River Styx to the entrance of Hades.
Hermes as the driver of animal herds also became the god who drove or guided the souls of the dead to Hades. In the myth of the abduction of Persephone, he was sent by Zeus to fetch the goddess back from Hades, and was thereafter appointed as the Guide of Dead Souls.
