Derek and Scott did talk about it in Heart Monitor after Scott tells Derek about the spiral drawn in the condensation on the window by the Alpha.

Derek is reluctant to talk about it then Scott pushes -

Scott - You buried your sister under a spiral. What does it mean?

Derek - You don't want to know.

So yeah, they talked about it but didn't discuss the reasons for it in relation to Laura's burial.

Later, once Derek has knocked Deaton unconscious, he yells -

Derek - You want to know what the spiral Scott? It's our sign for a vendetta for revenge! It means he won't stop killing until he's satisfied!

Scott - You think he's the Alpha?

Derek - Let's find out.

So again - the spiral in relation to the Alpha's motivation is revenge.

Why it was around Laura's grave and it's effect remains largely unexplained.

We can speculate that the wolfsbane making up the spiral had something to do with her holding the wolf form after death but it's just speculation and says nothing to Derek's motivation about hiding the body etc.
