Exhibit 10.6

Amendment to the
Matthews International Corporation 
Officers Retirement Restoration Plan 

WHEREAS, the Board of Directors resolved to terminate the defined benefit portion of the Plan as of August 2, 2021, with benefits previously frozen on this portion as of April 30, 2021; and 

WHEREAS, the Board of Directors took such action by unanimous written consent dated August 2, 2021, and authorized this amendment in such action.

NOW THEREFORE, pursuant to the authority granted to the undersigned by the Matthews International Corporation Board of Directors, the Matthews International Corporation Officers Retirement Restoration Plan (the "Plan") is hereby amended by adding the following new Section 7.3 to the Plan:

7.3       Plan Termination Provisions for Defined Benefit portion.

(a)        Notwithstanding any other provision of this Plan to the contrary, effective as of the close of business on August 2, 2021 (the "Termination Date"), the Defined Benefit Portion of the Plan is terminated.  Without limiting the generality of the foregoing and without limiting the applicability of Plan provisions not specifically listed, the more substantive Defined Benefit Portion of the Plan is generally found in sections 3.1 to 3.5 and sections 4.1 to 4.8 of the overall Plan.

(b)       All benefits in the Defined Benefit Portion of the Plan ceased accruing or increasing as of April 30, 2021.  As of April 30, 2021, with respect to the Defined Benefit Portion of the Plan to the extent not previously limited or frozen: increases in Earnings will not be considered; the Accrued Defined Benefit will not increase; no further service or Credited Service or Continuous Service will be credited. 

(c)        In connection with the Termination of the Defined Benefit Portion of the Plan, the Company shall proceed to distribute all benefits accrued, earned or otherwise credited under the Defined Benefit Portion of the Plan.  The distribution of any and all such accrued benefits to be made in the form of a single lump-sum payment to each Participant commencing no earlier than twelve months from the Termination Date, except for payments that are otherwise due during the 12-month period, which must be made as scheduled. In no event will the benefits be distributed later than 24 months from the Termination Date, and in no event will any Participant be able to select a payment date. The date for payment will be October 1, 2022, unless extended by action of the Compensation Committee.

(d)       Lump sums will be calculated as follows:

(i)        The present value of the Normal Defined Retirement Benefit of each Participant under the Plan as of August 2, 2021 (reflecting the Normal Defined Retirement Benefit and the offsets to the Normal Defined Retirement Benefit under the Plan for Active Participants, both determined as of April 30, 2021) shall be determined by the Company’s actuary consistent with the basis utilized for proxy reporting purposes, based on each Participant’s frozen Normal Defined Retirement Benefit as of August 2, 2021 as calculated above and the application of a discount rate of 2.50% (representing the actual discount rate as of July 31, 2021 determined consistent with the basis utilized for proxy reporting purposes).

(ii)       For Active Participants (and Former Active Participants that are not yet Retired Participants), the present value lump sum amounts determined above shall receive an adjustment as calculated by the actuary at the above discount rate from August 2, 2021 until the payment date.  If a participant’s present value as of August 2, 2021 exceeded the benefit cap previously established by the Committee, such participant is not eligible for additional service credit or benefit increases.  Such 

participant’s present value amount as of the date the cap was reached shall only receive the aforesaid adjustment from such date until the lump-sum payment date.

(iii)      The lump-sum value determined above for Active Participants shall then be reduced by the present values of an Active Participant’s Accrued Benefits under the Matthews International Corporation Employees Retirement Plan determined as of September 30, 2021 (reflecting Earnings and Credited Service as of April 30, 2021) to the extent not taken into account above.

(iv)       For Retired Participants, the present value amounts determined above shall receive the aforesaid adjustment from August 2, 2021 until the lump-sum payment date, which amount shall also be reduced for monthly benefit payments received between August 2, 2021 and the lump-sum payment date.

(v)        If a Participant dies before the lump sum payment is made, such lump sum payment shall be paid to the Participant’s Spouse if the Participant is legally married.  In all other cases, if an eligible individual dies before the lump sum payment is made, such lump sum payment shall be paid to the individual’s estate.

(e)        All claims filed after the date hereof, including those under Article 6 and those which relate to the termination of the Defined Benefit Portion of the Plan or the provision of this amendment, must be presented to the administrator of the Plan within 6 months of receipt of a notice that the Defined Benefit Portion of the Plan is terminating or such claim will be forever barred.

(f)        All Active Participants at the Termination Date shall be fully vested.

 REVERSE SIDE OF NOTE 

3.500% Senior Note due 2051 

Section 1. Indenture 

This Security is one of a duly authorized issue of securities of the Company (herein called the “Securities”), issued and to be
issued in one or more series under a Senior Indenture, dated as of May 6, 2005 (herein called the “Indenture”), between the Company and U.S. Bank National Association, as successor Trustee (herein called the “Trustee,” which
term includes any successor trustee under the Indenture), to which Indenture and all indentures supplemental thereto reference is hereby made for a statement of the respective rights, limitations of rights, duties and immunities thereunder of the
Company, the Trustee and the Holders of the Securities and of the terms upon which the Securities are, and are to be authenticated and delivered. The acceptance of this Security shall be deemed to constitute the consent and agreement by the Holders
hereof to all of the terms and provisions of the Indenture. This Security is one of the series designated on the face hereof. By the terms of the Indenture, additional Securities of other separate series, which may vary as to date, amount, Stated
Maturity, interest rate or method of calculating the interest rate and in other respects as therein provided, may be issued in an unlimited principal amount. 

The Company may, without giving notice to or seeking the consent of the Holders of this Security, issue additional securities having the same
terms (except for the issue date and, in some cases, the public offering price, the first Interest Payment Date and the initial Interest accrual date) as, and ranking equally and ratably with this Security. Any additional securities having such
similar terms, together with this Security, will constitute a single series of securities under the Indenture, including for purposes of voting and redemptions. Such additional securities will only be issued as part of the series of this Security if
they are fungible with this Security for U.S. federal income tax purposes. 
 If any Interest Payment Date, Redemption Date or the Stated
Maturity of this Security shall not be a Business Day at any Place of Payment, then (notwithstanding any other provision of the Indenture or this Security), payment of interest or principal due on this Security need not be made at such Place of
Payment on such date, but may be made on the immediately succeeding Business Day at the Place of Payment, with the same force and effect as if made on the Interest Payment Date, Redemption Date or at Stated Maturity, provided that no interest shall
accrue on such unpaid interest or principal for the period from and after such Interest Payment Date, Redemption Date or Stated Maturity, as the case may be, to such Business Day. 

Section 2. Optional Redemption 

Except as set forth below, this Security is not redeemable prior to Stated Maturity and is not entitled to the benefit of a sinking fund or any
analogous provision. 
 On or after May 15, 2051 (six months prior to the Stated Maturity of this Security (the “Par Call
Date”)), the Securities of this series are redeemable, in whole or in part, at the option of the Company, at any time and from time to time, at a Redemption Price equal to 100% of the principal amount of the Securities of this series to be
redeemed plus accrued and unpaid interest thereon to, but excluding, the Redemption Date. 

  
 1 

 Prior to the Par Call Date, the Securities of this series are redeemable, in whole or in
part, at the option of the Company, at any time and from time to time, at a Redemption Price equal to the greater of (i) 100% of the principal amount of the Securities of this series to be redeemed, and (ii) as determined by the Quotation Agent
(as defined below), the sum of the present values of the remaining scheduled payments of principal and interest thereon that would be due if the Securities of this series to be redeemed matured on the Par Call Date (not including any portion of
those payments of interest accrued as of the date of redemption) discounted to the Redemption Date on a semi-annual basis (assuming a 360-day year consisting of twelve
30-day months) at the Adjusted Treasury Rate (as defined below) plus 25 basis points, plus, in each case, accrued and unpaid interest thereon to, but excluding, the Redemption Date. 

“Adjusted Treasury Rate” means, with respect to any Redemption Date, the rate per annum equal to the semi-annual equivalent yield to
maturity of the Comparable Treasury Issue, assuming a price for the Comparable Treasury Issue (expressed as a percentage of its principal amount) equal to the Comparable Treasury Price for that Redemption Date. 

“Comparable Treasury Issue” means the United States Treasury security selected by the Quotation Agent as having a maturity
comparable to the remaining term of the Securities of this series to be redeemed (assuming for this purpose that the Securities of this series to be redeemed matured on the Par Call Date) that would be utilized, at the time of selection and in
accordance with customary financial practice, in pricing new issues of corporate debt securities of comparable maturity to the remaining term of those Securities of this series. 

“Comparable Treasury Price” means, with respect to any Redemption Date, (i) the average of the Reference Treasury Dealer
Quotations for the Redemption Date, after excluding the highest and lowest Reference Treasury Dealer Quotations, or (ii) if the Quotation Agent obtains fewer than five Reference Treasury Dealer Quotations, the average of all such Reference
Treasury Dealer Quotations. 
 “Quotation Agent” means the Reference Treasury Dealer appointed by the Company. 

“Reference Treasury Dealer” means each of (i) J.P. Morgan Securities LLC, a Primary Treasury Dealer (as defined below) selected
by MUFG Securities Americas Inc. and a Primary Treasury Dealer selected by U.S. Bancorp Investments, Inc. and their respective successors, and two additional primary U.S. Government securities dealers in New York, New York (each a “Primary
Treasury Dealer”) selected by the Company and their successors; provided, however, that if any of them shall cease to be a Primary Treasury Dealer, the Company shall substitute another Primary Treasury Dealer; and (ii) any other Primary
Treasury Dealers selected by the Company. 
 “Reference Treasury Dealer Quotations” means, with respect to each Reference Treasury
Dealer and any Redemption Date, the average, as determined by the Quotation Agent, after consultation with the Company, of the bid and asked prices for the Comparable Treasury Issue (expressed in each case as a percentage of its principal amount)
quoted in writing to the Quotation Agent by that Reference Treasury Dealer at 5:00 p.m., New York City time, on the third Business Day preceding that Redemption Date. 

  
 2 

 In case of any redemption occurring prior to the Par Call Date, the Company shall give the
Trustee notice of the related redemption price promptly after the calculation thereof and the Trustee shall not be responsible for such calculation. 

Notice of any redemption shall be delivered not less than 15 days but not more than 60 days before the Redemption Date to the Holders of the
Securities of this series to be redeemed, at each Holder’s address appearing in the Security Register, but failure to give such notice in the manner herein provided to the Holder of any Securities of this series designated for redemption shall
not affect the validity of the proceedings for the redemption of any other such Security or portion thereof. Any notice that is delivered to the Holders in the manner herein provided shall be conclusively presumed to have been duly given, whether or
not the Holder receives the notice. Notice of redemption having been given as aforesaid, the Securities of this series so to be redeemed shall, on the Redemption Date, subject to the satisfaction or waiver of any condition to such redemption set
forth in the notice of redemption in accordance with the terms and conditions of this Security, become due and payable at the Redemption Price. Any notice of redemption may, at the Company’s discretion, be subject to one or more conditions
precedent, including completion of a refinancing transaction or other corporate transaction. In addition, if such redemption or notice is subject to satisfaction of one or more conditions precedent, the Company may, in its discretion, delay the
Redemption Date until such time as any or all such conditions shall be satisfied or waived, or such redemption may not occur and such notice may be rescinded in the event that any or all such conditions shall not have been satisfied or waived by the
Redemption Date, or by the Redemption Date so delayed. 
 Unless the Company defaults in payment of the Redemption Price, on and after the
Redemption Date, interest will cease to accrue on the Securities of this series or portions thereof called for redemption. If less than all of the Securities of this series are to be redeemed, the Securities of this series to be redeemed shall be
selected by the Trustee by such method as the Trustee shall deem fair and appropriate; provided, that as long as the Securities of this series are represented by one or more Global Notes, beneficial interests in the Securities of this series will be
selected for redemption by the U.S. Depositary in accordance with its standard procedures therefor. 
 In the event of a redemption of this
Security in part only, a new Security or Securities of this series, of like tenor of any authorized denomination for the unredeemed portion hereof will be issued in the name of the Holder of this Security upon cancellation hereof. Except as
otherwise provided herein, Article XIII of the Indenture shall apply to this Security. 
 Section 3. Repurchase Upon a Change of Control
Repurchase Event 
 If a Change of Control Repurchase Event (as defined below) occurs, unless the Company has exercised its right to
redeem the Securities of this series in whole as described in Section 2 by giving notice of such redemption to each Holder of the Securities of this series, the Company will make an offer to each Holder of the Securities of this series to
repurchase all or any part (equal to $1,000 and integral multiples of $1,000 in excess thereof, provided, that the unrepurchased portion 

  
 3 

 
of any Security of this series must be in a minimum principal amount of $2,000) of that Holder’s Securities at a repurchase price in cash equal to 101% of the aggregate principal amount of
the Securities of this series repurchased plus any accrued and unpaid interest on the Securities of this series repurchased to, but excluding, the date of repurchase. Within 30 days following any Change of Control Repurchase Event or, at the
Company’s option, prior to any Change of Control (as defined below), but after the public announcement of an impending Change of Control, the Company will send, or shall cause to be sent, a notice to each Holder of the Securities of this
series, with a copy to the Trustee, describing the transaction or transactions that constitute or may constitute the Change of Control Repurchase Event and offering to repurchase Securities of this series on the payment date specified in the notice,
which date will be no earlier than 30 days and no later than 60 days from the date such notice is sent (the “Change of Control Payment Date”). The notice shall, if sent prior to the date of consummation of the Change of Control, state that
the offer to repurchase is conditioned on the Change of Control Repurchase Event occurring on or prior to the payment date specified in the notice. 

The Company will comply with the requirements of Rule 14e-l under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934,
as amended (the “Exchange Act”), and any other securities laws and regulations thereunder, to the extent those laws and regulations are applicable in connection with the repurchase of the Securities of this series as a result of a Change
of Control Repurchase Event. To the extent that the provisions of any securities laws or regulations conflict with this Section 3, the Company will comply with the applicable securities laws and regulations and will not be deemed to have
breached its obligations under this Section 3 by virtue of such conflict. 
 On the Change of Control Payment Date, the Company will,
to the extent lawful: 
  

	 	(a)	 accept for payment all Securities of this series or portions of Securities of this series properly tendered
(and not withdrawn) pursuant to the Company’s offer; 

  

	 	(b)	 deposit with the Paying Agent an amount equal to the aggregate purchase price in respect of all Securities of
this series or portions of Securities of this series properly tendered (and not withdrawn); and 

  

	 	(c)	 deliver or cause to be delivered to the Trustee the Securities of this series properly accepted, together with
an Officers’ Certificate stating the aggregate principal amount of Securities of this series being purchased by the Company. 

The Company will not be required to make an offer to repurchase the Securities of this series upon a Change of Control Repurchase Event if a
third party makes such an offer in the manner, at the times and otherwise in compliance with the requirements in this Section 3 for an offer made by the Company and such third party purchases all Securities of this series properly tendered and
not withdrawn under its offer. An offer to repurchase the Securities of this series upon a Change of Control Repurchase Event may be made in advance of a Change of Control Repurchase Event, if a definitive agreement is in place for a Change of
Control at the time of the making of such an offer.

 “Below Investment Grade Rating Event” occurs if the rating on the
Securities of this series is lowered by each of the Rating Agencies (as defined below) and the Securities of this series cease to be rated Investment Grade by each Rating Agency on any date during the period (the “Trigger Period”)
commencing on the date of the first public announcement by the Company of any Change of Control (or pending Change of Control) and ending 60 days following consummation of such Change of Control (which Trigger Period will be extended following
consummation of a Change of Control for so long as any of the Rating Agencies has publicly announced that it is considering a possible ratings downgrade). If a Rating Agency is not providing a rating for the Securities of this series at the
commencement of any Trigger Period, the ratings on the Securities of this series will be deemed to have been lowered below Investment Grade by such Rating Agency during that Trigger Period. Notwithstanding the foregoing, no Below Investment Grade
Rating Event will be deemed to have occurred in connection with any particular Change of Control unless and until such Change of Control has actually been consummated. 

“Change of Control” means the occurrence of any of the following: 

(1) the direct or indirect sale, transfer, conveyance or other disposition (other than by way of merger or consolidation), in one or a series
of related transactions, of all or substantially all of the Company’s properties or assets and those of its Subsidiaries taken as a whole to any “person” (as that term is used in Section 13(d)(3) of the Exchange Act), other than
the Company or one of its Subsidiaries; 
 (2) the adoption of a plan relating to the Company’s liquidation or dissolution; 

(3) the first day on which a majority of the members of the Company’s Board of Directors are not Continuing Directors; 

(4) the consummation of any transaction or series of related transactions (including, without limitation, any merger or consolidation) the
result of which is that any “person” (as that term is used in Section 13(d)(3) of the Exchange Act), other than the Company or one of its Subsidiaries, becomes the beneficial owner, directly or indirectly, of more than 50% of the then
outstanding shares of the Company’s Voting Stock, measured by voting power rather than number of shares; or 
 (5) the Company
consolidates with, or merges with or into, any person, or any person consolidates with, or merges with or into the Company, in any such event pursuant to a transaction in which any of the Company’s outstanding Voting Stock or Voting Stock of
such other person is converted into or exchanged for cash, securities or other property, other than any such transaction where the Company’s Voting Stock outstanding immediately prior to such transaction constitutes, or is converted into or
exchanged for, Voting Stock representing more than 50% of the voting power of the Voting Stock of the surviving person immediately after giving effect to such transaction. 

Notwithstanding the foregoing, a transaction will not be deemed to involve a Change of Control if (i) the Company becomes a direct or indirect
wholly-owned subsidiary of a holding company and (ii) (A) the direct or indirect holders of the Voting Stock of such holding company immediately following that transaction are substantially the same as the holders of the Company’s Voting
Stock immediately prior to that transaction or (B) immediately following that transaction no person (other than a holding company satisfying the requirements of this sentence) is the beneficial owner, directly or indirectly, of more than 50% of
the Voting Stock of such holding company.

of Control and a Below Investment Grade Rating Event. 
 “Continuing Directors” means, as of any date of determination, any
member of the Company’s Board of Directors who (1) was a member of such Board of Directors on the date of the issuance of the Securities of this series; or (2) was nominated for election, elected or appointed to such Board of
Directors with the approval of a majority of the Continuing Directors who were members of such Board of Directors at the time of such nomination, election or appointment (either by a specific vote or by approval of the Company’s proxy statement
in which such member was named as a nominee for election as a director). 
 Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, “Continuing
Director” shall include one or more directors or nominees who are part of a dissident slate of directors in connection with a proxy contest, which director or nominee is approved by the Company’s Board of Directors as a Continuing Director
for the purposes hereof or otherwise, even if such Board of Directors does not approve or opposed or opposes the directors for purposes of such proxy contest. As a result, Holders of the Securities of this series would not be entitled to require the
Company to purchase such Securities under such circumstances. 
 “Fitch” means Fitch Ratings and its successors. 

“Investment Grade” means a rating of BBB- or better by Fitch (or its equivalent under
any successor rating categories of Fitch), Baa3 or better by Moody’s (or its equivalent under any successor rating categories of Moody’s) and a rating of BBB- or better by S&P (or its equivalent
under any successor rating categories of S&P) or the equivalent investment grade credit rating from any additional Rating Agency or Rating Agencies selected by the Company, in accordance with the definition of “Rating Agency” below.

 “Moody’s” means Moody’s Investors Service Inc., and its successors. 

“Rating Agency” means (1) each of Fitch, Moody’s and S&P; and (2) if any of Fitch, Moody’s or S&P

the meaning of Section 3(a)(62) of the Exchange Act, selected by the Company as a replacement agency for Fitch, Moody’s or S&P, as the case may be. 

“S&P” means S&P Global Ratings, a division of S&P Global Inc., and its successors. 

“Voting Stock” means, with respect to any person, capital stock of any class or kind the holders of which are ordinarily, in
the absence of contingencies, entitled to vote for the election of directors (or persons performing similar functions) of such person, even if the right so to vote has been suspended by the happening of such a contingency. 

Section 4. Events of Default

Section 6. Supplemental Indentures 

The Indenture permits, with certain exceptions as therein provided, the Company to enter into a supplemental indenture with the Trustee to
amend certain provisions thereof and modify the rights and obligations of the Company and the rights of the Holders of the Securities of each series to be affected under the Indenture at any time with the consent of the Holders of not less than a
majority in aggregate principal amount of the Securities at the time Outstanding of each series to be affected and, for certain purposes, without the consent of the Holders of any Securities at the time Outstanding. The Indenture also contains
provisions permitting the Holders of specified percentages in aggregate principal amount of the Securities of each series at the time Outstanding, on behalf of the Holders of all Securities of such series, to waive compliance by the Company with
certain provisions of the Indenture and certain past defaults under the Indenture and their consequences. Any such consent or waiver by the Holder of this Security shall be conclusive and binding upon such Holder and upon all future Holders of this
Security and of any Security issued upon the registration of transfer hereof or in exchange hereof or in lieu hereof, whether or not notation of such consent or waiver is made upon this Security. 

No reference herein to the Indenture and no provision of this Security or of the Indenture shall alter or impair the obligation of the
Company, which is absolute and unconditional, to pay the principal of and interest on this Security at the times, place and rate, and in the coin or currency, herein prescribed. 

Section 7. Denominations; Transfer; Exchange 

As provided in the Indenture and subject to certain limitations therein set forth, the transfer of this Security is registrable in the Security

transfer in form satisfactory to the Company and the Security Registrar duly executed by, the Holder hereof or such Holder’s attorney duly authorized in writing, and thereupon one or more new Securities of this series, of like tenor and of
authorized denominations and for the same aggregate principal amount, will be issued to the designated transferee or transferees. 
 The
Securities of this series are issuable only in registered form without coupons in denominations of $2,000 and any amount in excess thereof which is an integral multiple of $1,000. As provided in the Indenture and subject to certain limitations
therein set forth, Securities of this series are exchangeable for a like aggregate principal amount of Securities of this series and of like tenor of a different authorized denomination, as requested by the Holder surrendering the same. 

  
 7 

 No service charge shall be made for any such registration of transfer or exchange, except as
provided in the Indenture, but the Company may require payment of a sum sufficient to cover any tax or other governmental charge payable in connection therewith. 

Section 8. Persons Deemed Owners 

The Company, the Trustee and any agent of the Company or the Trustee may treat the Person in whose name this Security is registered in the
Security Register as the owner hereof for all purposes, whether or not this Security be overdue, and neither the Company, the Trustee nor any such agent shall be affected by notice to the contrary.

This Security shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the State of New York, without regard for principles of
conflicts of law (other than Section 5-1401 of the General Obligations Law of the State of New York). 

Section 10. Defined Terms 

All terms used in this Security which are defined in the Indenture shall have the meanings assigned to them in the Indenture. 

Section 11. No Recourse Against Others

attach to, or be incurred by, any incorporator, stockholder, officer or director, as such, past, present or future of the Company or of any predecessor or successor corporation (either directly or through the Company or a predecessor or successor
corporation), whether by virtue of any constitutional provision, statute or rule of law, or by the enforcement of any assessment or penalty or otherwise; it being expressly agreed and understood that the Indenture and all the Securities are solely
corporate obligations and that any such personal liability is hereby expressly waived and released as a condition of, and as a part of the consideration for, the execution of the Indenture and the issuance of the Securities. 

Section 12. Waiver Jury Trial 

THE HOLDER OF THIS SECURITY HEREBY WAIVES, TO THE FULLEST EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW, ANY RIGHT IT MAY HAVE TO A TRIAL BY JURY IN ANY
LEGAL PROCEEDING, DIRECTLY OR INDIRECTLY, ARISING OUT OF OR RELATING TO THIS SECURITY OR THE INDENTURE (WHETHER BASED ON CONTRACT, TORT OR ANY OTHER THEORY).
