It's my understanding that this type of information is NEVER done via a phone call. The military sends someone to your home, correct?

Correcr!!
The military has what is called "Casualy Assistance Officers"...folks identified ahead of time who will act as an official representative of the Armed Services who personally goes to the home to notify NOK of a Casualty.
NEVER EVER BY PHONE.

Isn't this true of everything? I've heard if they come to your door it is the worst news, even auto accidents, etc. I would think that other than the case of very sick people who are in hospital (as the brits say, but it sounds right here) and basically expected to die, one is never informed of these things via telephone, except as a grievous blunder.
