The Survivors Assistance and Memorial Support (SAMS) Program at VA offers personalized supportive services to families, caregivers, and survivors at the end of a Veteran’s life and after a Veteran passes. The SAMS program also ensures dignified burials for Veterans who lack next of kin. VA SAMS is committed to honoring the sacrifices made by Veterans and helping their survivors feel supported with high-quality, reliable, consistent, and compassionate care. For more information or questions about SAMS, contact the Clarksburg SAMS Specialist, Lindsey Mikes, at (304) 623-3461, ext. 3126 or visit https://www.va.gov/clarksburg-health-care/programs/survivors-assistance-memorial-support-program-sams-decedent-affairs/
