NEW YORK, July 1 (Reuters) - Activist investor Barington Capital Group on Tuesday urged casket maker Matthews International MATW.O to fix its business and immediately invite the activist investor onto its board, or possibly face another proxy fight next year.

Barington criticized Matthews' business portfolio, capital allocation, lagging stock price, and long-serving CEO in a letter seen by Reuters.
