<upd_detl>Some otherwise very good online English glosses seem to play a bit loose with the English word "call" I think.  Too many people (myself included) will default to "phone call".

sankoku says: 
文 お悔やみのために、死んだ人の家を訪ねること

Not sure if it must definitively be the home of the person who passed, or perhaps the home of some loved one where a service is held... 

Since "家族を弔問" is a thing, it must be more broad... Critically, the direct object is the survivor(s), not the deceased...</upd_detl>

<upd_detl>"bereaved" ≠ "deceased". Trimming. We'd usually lead with the more succinct gloss.
"Call" is quite general. I think the usage is fine.</upd_detl>
