Warta: Telling The Family

In the first hours after a death, a family often has no complete contact list. One person remembers a neighbor, another knows an old colleague by a nickname, and someone six hours away may hear too late to attend the burial. Warta gives trusted relatives one quiet place to reconstruct that circle and make sure each person is told by a human voice. Start with the deceased person's name, the burial time, and the place. Warta immediately lays out the practical work that may need attention before the burial, with clear source notes and reminders that local authorities and local practice decide. Build the people list from memory: • Add names, phone numbers, nicknames, kinship words, locations, and travel time without importing contacts. • Describe the chapters of the person's life—where they grew up, studied, worked, worshipped, or lived. • See a calm question when an entire chapter has no contacts, directed to the relative most likely to remember someone. • Review possible duplicates with the evidence written in plain language. Warta never combines two people until a person confirms it. Coordinate the calls: • Bring trusted family members into the same circle with a face-to-face QR code. • Let each contributor state their relationship to the deceased so words such as chacha are understood through the speaker who used them. • Order calls by who can still reach the burial in time, the burial deadline, and the callers available—not by a rigid family hierarchy. • Reserve one person for one caller at a time, return unfinished calls to the family pool, and keep voice-pinned contacts with the chosen caller. • Show callers one large name at a time with simple Told, Already knew, No answer, Wrong number, and I could not say it outcomes. Warta never sends a death announcement, text message, broadcast, social post, or automated call. A human tells a human; the app only coordinates who is holding the phone. Family-circle records are end-to-end encrypted, can be locked independently inside the app, and are automatically removed from the service after 40 days. A deliberately small after-burial area can hold responsibility for certificates, papers, and family errands without inheritance or money calculations.
