Any Funeral Directors in? 777?

[Slinky]

Folks,

Just wondering whether the number 777 has any meaning in the funerial world.. Seems to crop up rather often on numberplates and in phone numbers for Funeral Directors..

The only references I can find online are to it potentially being regarded as a perfect number in Hebrew and some reference to it's Qabalistic potential..

Thoughts?

and yes, I have just come back from a funeral, I'm not just being morbid..

Anything to do with perfection?

7 is the number of perfection, as God created everything in 6 days and rested on the 7th, and three 7's is symbolic for the Trinity, God the Father, the Son, and the Holy Spirit.

If its so perfect why are three 7s representing 4 things? Surely it should be four 7s?

Trinity: God the Father, the Son, and the Holy Spirit.

It's also the day when Craig David chilled after nailing a man for 6 days previous.

Black Merc wasnt it?

Quite a coincidence, I think I drove passed it today

Apparently, someone just told me: 777 is the number of a man (quite what that means I'm not sure!)

If you were in Worcester/Droitwhich, then yes, you drove past this particular hearse..

It was indeed, I just happened to be doing a collection near there today - the plate really stood out for some reason (hence why I nearly fell off my chair when I read your post )

Brace yourself... http://www.ridingthebeast.com/numbers/nu777.php

Although it does contain such gems as "The book of the Genesis contains 777+777-21 or 1553 verses". So?

Great indication of culture, upbringing, or whatever on that page. I saw :

"I am the resurrection" and immediately thought of the Stone Roses, not Christ

Would you prefer a hearse with "666" in its registration number?

According to the Pixies, Man is 5, the devil is 6 and God is 7.

EDIT: I was wrong it is 616 for the devil/Satan whatever his callsign is these days.

It all changed in 1971 with decimalisation.

I think you'll find he's more into rabbits now.

Had a placement at a funeral directors last week, had a tour of the garage. The hearse's plate was L111 ***, the limousines were L222 ***, L333 ***, L444 *** and their ambulance van was L555 ***. The bloke said that they needed another vehicle, but didn't get a plate for it, as L666 would have been a bit dodgy...

666 - the number of the beast
665 - the neighbour of the beast!

Simples! Tch
