I'd rather receive an email from the source than a call from someone who heard from someone who heard from someone that grandma is probably dead.
And they take a ton of work to organize.
- nommm-nommm 11y agoFriend/Family calling trees take no effort to organize and happen organically. You mostly just call the people who you are closest to and the others do the same with a few people making sure so and so who isn't close to anyone gets the word. I have an absolutely gigantic family on both sides (50 or so cousins total) and this had always been the way it operated on both sides of the family and there was never any advanced planning. In fact when the news is very distressing (spouse death) the person usually only notifies one or two very close people. Those people make sure the word gets out.
