Parcul Carol I
Nevertheless, in his last years, Bujor was plagued by financial uncertainty, and resorted to petitioning the state for an increase of his income. He died at his museum home in Bucharest on May 17, 1952, and was incinerated at "Cenușa" crematorium that same day. The ceremony was attended by a delegation from Iași university, headed by Teofil Vescan, and by academicians Ștefan Vencov and Nicolae Sălăgeanu. His ashes were then deposited near the mausoleum in Carol Park. Among his papers was a short story, preserved by the Museum of Romanian Literature and only published in 2014 by "Dacia Literară". Titled "Bărbuță Lăutarul", it has for an eponymous protagonist a Romany violinist, or "lăutar", marginalized and left to starve by the phonograph.
