You can create a template file 404.php in your themes root folder, wordpress will then use this to route all 404 errors.

Create a file '404.php' in your theme's root folder, WordPress uses this file to handle 404 errors. For more reference visit this official link - https://codex.wordpress.org/Creating_an_Error_404_Page

You can manage the custom 404 page from admin without any plugin:

Step One:

Create page for 404 from backend & copy the page URL

Step Two

Open you .htaccess and add the following

ErrorDocument 404 http://yourwebsite.com/error-404

Update the URL to your 404 page you created in step one
