In the last years of his life, Buconjić was often sickly.[2] Even though the new episcopal residence was erected, Buconjoć refused to move and lived in the old residence in Vukodol. Glavaš used Buconjić's weak condition to remain in power and kept him uninformed and thus dependent.[3] Glavaš directed the financial resources of the diocese to the Franciscan Province of Herzegovina.[4]

Buconjić died in Mostar on 8 December 1910[4][5] and was buried in the city's Church of Saint Peter and Paul.[4] As requested by the canon law, on 19 December 1910, the Metropolitan Archbishop Stadler named Lazarević administrator in spiritual matters of the two Herzegovinian dioceses. The material care of the dioceses was given to Glavaš, who used his position to further enrich the Franciscan Province of Herzegovina.[6][5]
