The company's multi-sensory experience rooms include not just video, but also audio and even olfactory effects that will provide a more holistic sense of mourning for those at Foundation Partners Group's homes. Eulogizing videos are nothing new for funerals, but [Foundation Parters Group's](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/distractionfree-dating-guide) multi-sensory experience rooms literally expand on that concept. The rooms have wall-to-wall projector screens that can play videos as well as stock footage from locations like a beach or a mountainside. Most strikingly, the rooms offer [custom scents](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/mega-experience-center) that can be coupled with these environments. For instance, the room can be set to smell like fresh cut grass if the deceased was a golfer. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 3.2/10 - Popularity: 54% | Activity: 35% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 50% men, 50% women - Top markets: North America ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Lifestyle](https://www.trendhunter.com/lifestyle) > [Life](https://www.trendhunter.com/life) ## Key Themes ### What's Driving This Trend - **High-tech Funeral Services:** Expanding Funeral Services with Multimedia Experiences - **Multi-sensory Experience Rooms:** Enhancing Funeral Homes with Audiovisual and Olfactory Effects - **Customized Funeral Environments:** Personalizing Funerals with Scent and Visual Settings ### Who This Affects Most - **Funeral Services:** Incorporating High-Tech Innovations for Enhanced Funeral Experiences - **Audiovisual Technology:** Providing Advanced Multimedia Systems for Funeral Homes - **Scent Marketing:** Creating Custom Scents to Evoke Emotional Connections in Funeral Settings ## Related on Trend Hunter - [AI-Powered Virtual Memorials](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/virtual-memorials.md) - [Post-Mortem Pet Projectors](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/cirius-beam-projector.md) - [Digital Memorialization Tools](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/remembermeai.md) - [3D-Printed Ecological Funeral Reefs](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/resting-reefs.md) - [Digital Guestbook Platforms](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/visitation-book.md) - [Eco-Friendly Pet Tree Burial Kits](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/ecofriendly-pet-tree-burial-kit.md) - [Tech-Advanced Family Memories Projects](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/family-memories.md) - [Post-Mortem Wireless Detectors](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/in-memoriam.md) - [Olfactory Entertainment Devices](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/moviescent.md)
