The collection of allusions are complemented with anagrams in the names. In the final of the third season, Jack attends the funeral organized by the “Hoffs/Drawlar” funeral parlor. Its name is actually an anagram of the “flash forward” collocation and makes the viewer understand that this is a reference, not to the character’s past, but to their future.

In the fourth episode of the fifth season, the coffin of John Locke shows the “Canton-Reiner” logo. It hides the word “reincarnation” that hints it’s too early to say goodbye to this character.
