I'm very sorry that your kitten died, but you are going to be responsible for the disposal of the kitten's body. Someone at the vet's office should have explained to you that it's against the law for the vet to simply throw out the body with the trash. The vet paid a company to dispose of the body and he is passing the cost on to you. Generally speaking, animal disposal companies offer three cremation options: cremation without ashes returned, cremation with ashes scattered, and cremation with ashes returned (and an extra charge if you want an urn). The cost is based on type of service requested and the weight of the animal. If you didn't want to pay for disposal, your only other option was to pick up the dead cat and dispose of him yourself.
