On behalf of the Federation of Muslim Organisations and the diverse communities we represent across Leicester and beyond, I extend our deepest congratulations to Professor Catherine E. Mason on receiving the national Muslim Community Service Award for Outstanding Achievement.

This recognition is not only well deserved, it is profoundly significant. Professor Mason’s pioneering work in introducing non-invasive autopsies has been a game changer for our community. At moments of unimaginable grief, when families are most vulnerable, her compassion, innovation, and unwavering respect for cultural and religious sensitivities have brought healing and dignity where it was most needed.

For many years, faith communities have quietly struggled with the pain of invasive post mortems. Professor Mason listened, understood, and acted, blending scientific excellence with deep human empathy. Her leadership has turned Leicester into a national model of coronial care, one that upholds both clinical rigour and spiritual integrity.

This award shines a light on her selfless service, and we at the FMO are proud to stand with those honouring her. Professor Mason, your work has not just eased the burden of death, it has affirmed the sanctity of life, community, and shared humanity.

We thank you. We salute you. And we pray that your example continues to inspire all those who serve in public life.
