I advise not telling loved ones unless you take careful consideration, from my experience it's common for families to act out uncontrollably and may in fact make things worse. The fact that you're thinking of the least alarming way to tell your family that you want to die, means you probably have reservations.
What I would recommend is that you talk to a licensed professional about your feelings, especially if you're at the point where you're willing to try anything to avoid feeling as depressed that you do.

Often times with loved ones if you tell them you're suicidal then they'll end up blaming themselves or wondering what they did wrong, or if they could have prevented it. That blame does not help someone who is depressed and/or suicidal either actively or passively. Oftentimes because they do care about you then they may have strong emotions such as anger, guilt or even resentment. If you are suicidal or having feelings of wanting to die, then that's why I advise talking to a health care professional.
Even if you end up hospitalized for suicidal ideation, and your family finds out, then a competent hospital will have their staff try to work with your family to try to get them to understand and make the transition back into the home environment as easy as it can be. If you have passive ideation and just see a therapist, and you want to let your family know about your feelings then the therapist can work with the family by having a meeting being an advocate for you.
Anyway, honest advice is don't tell your family until seeing a mental health professional first, as it can make things worse.

This sounds like the best advice in the whole thread! (Since I don't see any other posts trying to answer the original question.)
