Valkyries.
I have no idea. There is never any mention in the books about characters whose role was similar to the Valkyries (I think).
I think that when the death of Luthien is described it just said that her soul left her body and went to Mandos. I don't think it said anything about anybody escorting her.
I think that when you died your soul just went to Mandos, not so much a physical journey as a spiritual one. You're dead and Zap! you're there.
If you choose to go that is, remembering the topic of this thread. [img]smilies/wink.gif[/img]
