What I've done is this, and it seems to work for me:

Alias /errors/ /usr/share/apache/errors/
ErrorDocument 400 /errors/error.php
ErrorDocument 401 /errors/error.php
ErrorDocument 403 /errors/error.php
ErrorDocument 404 /errors/error.php
ErrorDocument 408 /errors/error.php
ErrorDocument 500 /errors/error.php

It's a PHP script that reads the error code and displays a generically 
formatted error message for all sites on my server.
