American legion posts distribute flags and maintain these sites (generally). My dad looks after a cemetery with many rev+civil war graves since there's no one left to maintain them
The Cub Scout pack I’m a leader for does this every Memorial Day. One of the leaders went through all the cemeteries in town to figure out which ones need flags. We have some all the way back to the revolutionary war which was real cool to find. Granted the cemeteries aren’t overgrown or out of the way like this.

My grandad overlooked one of these cemeteries. He regularly cleaned it and put out fresh American flags for veterans holidays.
